Maniac's Monsoon Treats - Onion Paneer Chillas by Preethi Bansal

Hello Friends,

TADA!!!!!!

Monsoon will soon be here and the climate change is
indeed an irritating one not only for our skin and hair but also for our taste
buds as well. There is nothing more comforting and cozy than a hot, spicy and
yummy snack with a cup of steaming coffee (Sorry, I have more affinity towards
coffee).

How about adding a little “health” quotient to
those tangy snacks? Perfect isn’t it?

Don’t worry Indian beauty Maniac is still a beauty
blog. My friend, who is also a great cook wanted to share her healthy
yummilicious recipes here and I am not complaining. After all, happy tummy
leads to happy self and happy self leads to pretty self right?

I will be sharing one recipe every week starting
with today. These are super easy and we hope you girls enjoy trying it out.

Onion Paneer
Chillas

Ingredients:

For the Batter

Gram
Flour (besan) - about 3 tbsp

Chilli
powder -1 tsp

Coriander
powder -1 tsp

Salt
- as per taste

Water - as may be required

Oil
for spreading

For the Filling

Onion -1 large finely chopped.

Green
Chilies - 2 – 3 finely chopped.

Paneer
(preferably homemade) – about half a cup.

Coriander
leaves - 1/4th cup finely chopped.

Salt - to taste

Red
Chili Powder -1/4th tsp.

Method:

1.Start
by mixing the batter ingredients except oil and water.

2.Mix
the filling ingredients in a separate bowl and keep aside.

3.Prepare
a batter by slowly adding water to the mixture. Ensure there are no lumps left
and the batter consistency is like the Dosa batter or lightly thinner.

4.Heat
a not stick tawa and spread about half tsp oil on it to make it greasy.

5.Spread
little batter on the tawa and make the chillas one by one just as you prepare
dosa by adding little oil on the sides.

6.Turn
upside down and heat until both the sides turn golden brown.

7. On the hot chillas spread about 3 to 4 tsp of
the filling on one half side.

8.Roll
them up.

9.Cut
it into pieces of about 3 inches each and serve hot with green chutney or just
tomato ketchup.

I usually take it as it is
without any condiments to enjoy the spicy tangy taste :D can be packed in your
child’s lunch box since it is very healthy. Your kids will love it.

Do try it and let me know. If you have any queries
please ask me in the comment section. I would be more than glad to help you
out.
